I think that you are making a mistake by joining the ACC. This will meen more money to travel from game to game. This will cost the school some money. They will have to increase the cost of going to the school.

I agree. While BC fits into the conference academically, it just is not in a very good location. It's kind of like UCF with the MAC. Travel costs are gonna drain money that could be used in other areas of the program. BC may have been better served staying put. Syracuse would have been a better selection and more beneficial to all involved. SU has solid academics and is closer than BC to ACC country. SU is also better in the sports that matter. If location were key, WVU would fit, but I'm not sure WVU comes close to ACC academic standards.

Let me break this down for you... UNC is not a powerhouse football school, it is however a powerhouse in basketball. Expansion might be great for the big-time football schools, and that's great for them, but it is not good for basketball in the ACC.

All the schools that are joining the ACC in this expansion suck at basketball, and that is not my only problem with what their entrance into the ACC is doing. It is ending the home and home series we had with all of the schools in the ACC. In the past the ACC teams would bring out the best in each other and gain tons of experience during the conference schedule. This would make all of the ACC teams that much stronger going into the NCAA tournament. Now we might play every team once? Just having a home and home with our biggest rivals?

All this being said, I know that nothing is going to change expansion. I guess I should look at the bright side, maybe expansion will bring some better football recruits to our football team.

And for the record I definitely think the Brits should be running things over here... :thumbdown:

I tend to get riled up at just about any UNC poster. You guys have that effect on me, and I could care a less about UNC sports or Duke sports period!!
Let me break this down for you.

You say that UNC is not a powerhouse football school, but is a powerhouse basketball school. Well gollllie, that sure is a revelation. :rolleyes: I will say that at the present time, expansion does indeed hurt the ACC's basketball programs. But, you never know if that might change in the future.
Plus, as for as ending home and home series you had with all the schools in the ACC, I'm not too sure that is entirely a bad thing. Please tell me what you miss most about the home and homes with Clemson and Florida State. I'm sure there are several memorable moments from those games. :rolleyes: However, for those schools that you truly will be missing (like GT perhaps), there is an option to bring back those games although expansion has already occurred. If your one game against Georgia Tech is on the road, play them at home OOC. That way, you have a home and home against Tech, even though it won't officially count in the conference standings. Yes, this burns an OOC game, but if you're truly missing playing GT, run my suggestion by your AD. The same goes for all the teams that UNC would like to play but can't because of expansion. Where there is a will, there is a way. If you don't like this idea though, then get over sore loser attitude. :chair:

Does BC really suck at hoops? I'm sure you're making a good case for Miami and VT, but BC? Didn't we win 20 games 3 of the last 4 years, and the fact that we have a roster that is capable of winning 20+ games again this year?
